SELECTION OF THREE PROJECTS FROM THE NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC COMMISSION

BRODBECK & DE BARBUAT / PHILIPPE DURAND / HANAKO MURAKAMI

This selection of works from the Image 3.0 national photographic commission initiated by the CNAP in partnership with the Jeu de Paume, recently exhibited at the Cellier in Reims, presents the work of four artists reflecting on the new languages of imagery. Simon Brodbeck & Lucie de Barbuat, Philippe Durand and Hanako Murakami explore innovative digital techniques, pushing the ontological limits of image.

These different projects demonstrate the dialogue between old photographical processes and new technologies. While for Brodbeck & de Barbuat, the techniques of analogue and digital technology cohabit with 3D computer modelling processes and digitisation, the work of Philippe Durand highlights a unique 2.5D bas-relief photographic printing system. Hanako Murakami adds ocular sensors to his video installation, making the spectator an active agent in the artwork.

The Image 3.0 selection therefore offers an update of image production methods and explores how we look at them.

CNAP

The Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP) has joined forces with PARIS PHOTO to support artists working in the field of photography.

As a public institution of the Ministry of Culture, the CNAP actively supports photographers, artists and photography professionals via mechanisms funding artistic creation and contemporary documentary photography. It also enriches its collection via acquisitions and public commissions, directly contributing to the economy of the sector. By offering loans and deposits of artworks, as well as programming exhibitions, the CNAP contributes to the dissemination and showcasing of contemporary photography in all its diversity.

As part of PARIS PHOTO, an exhibition will highlight a selection of works from the national photographic commission Image 3.0, produced in partnership with the Jeu de Paume. A “Conversation” will give the exhibited artists the chance to speak.
